The couple, Eddie Stebbings and Bee Bueche, decided to spend their honeymoon on Skomer Island, but ended up getting trapped there for four days because of a the lazy giant elephant seal.

Skomer Island is a popular tourist destination in the U.K for people interested in watching wildlife.

They work as wildlife wardens and as part of their honeymoon were taking care of a colony of 180 Atlantic gray seals and would travel approximately three miles from the mainland to Skomer island on an almost daily basis.

In late October, a lazy seal seemed to have decided he wanted to make the couple’s dinghy its new home.

The giant elephant seal eventually decided to move on with his life , hough, which allowed the pair to return home. While they could have easily scared the giant seal away, because the newlyweds didn’t want to interfere with the island’s wildlife, they decided to allow the animal to leave on its own.
